About me
I’m an experienced, hands-on creative designer and have worked extensively both agency and client side for a number of London’s global agencies to boutique design companies and other businesses across various industries, sectors and markets in many design disciplines including branding, marketing/comms & campaigns through to pitch/presentations, logo design, social media graphics and more.
I have valuable experience creating original ideas to set design briefs and standards and am highly mac literate in all the main software applications, photo shoot friendly and with a high degree of design process and production knowledge, feel these qualities will enable me to seek new creative challenges.
